A famous couple of mathematicians from Hungary

I did not know or forgot that John von Neumann was married to another Hungarian mathematician until his death. The lady was actually married four times in her 52 years alive.

She "... was a Hungarian-American mathematician, self-taught engineer and computer scientist, noted as one of the first computer programmers. ..."

"... In the 1940’s Nick Metropolis, a young physicist, designed new controls for the state-of-the-art computer (ENIAC) with Klari Von Neumann, John’s wife. ..." (Source)
